I've been in total dismay for a long time, sick of all that life throws at me. As I sat here once again in my affliction, wondering why so much always befalls me, God has lead me to this Psalm and it has spoke to me in many ways on a personal level. Showing me that he is in charge, he does indeed understand the severity of my affliction, and my own iniquity is the reason for the chastening. It is not just mere bad luck why I've gone thru so much. Oftentimes I err in life thinking like a Deist and anything I do is vain and God is hardly involved with the affairs of men. But today God has shown great mercy and has restored hope to an idolatrous sinner who's forgotten the way of life. I'm so grateful to have such a great King and a loving Father. May power, praise, honor and glory His forever! Thank you Lord for being a Wonderful Counselor and a Mighty God to us all. Never forget like I did that he does know, and he does indeed care. Believe in him and his goodness for you. Seek his face for it is not in vain to do so. God bless.
